사감의 영혼 (The Housemistress Spirit) (2001)

Yeondu High School was located under a mountain in a very remote place in

the countryside. At that time, there was no sign of approval. At the time, Yeondu High

School was a new prestigious school that had a dormitory for girls. The dormitory had

a housemistress known as 'The Tiger' (Horangi), she was a prominent figure and

always emphasized good behavior. So, her dormitory rules were quite strict and the

girls had a lot of complaints about her.

Not long after the start of the school's 2nd term, a second-year student fell

from the 3rd floor window and broke her neck. She had been playing truant after an

exam, trying to avoid the housemistress. Pretty soon, there were rumors going around

that 'The Tiger' had driven her to suicide or even that she had killed the girl. The

housemistress was in a great shock and for a while she stayed silent as if her spirit was

broken. The girls of her dorm were very pleased that they had gotten back at 'The

Tiger'.

The following evening, another girl from the 3rd year was punished by

having her ponytail cut after being found walking outside of curfew. The girl was

outraged at the loss of her beautiful blonde hair, and stormed out of the room in rage.

The following morning, she too was found dead.

Therefore, the female students had strong opposition against the

housemistress. Her emotions accumulated and exploded in reaction to the girls. She

ran out of the dorm, screaming like a madwoman. And the next day was found dead.
 After that, people witnessed the ghost of the housemistress in the school's

dormitory C, and the dormitory was closed some time later. However, after that, there

were reports that her ghost still appeared.

사감의 영혼 (Ghost of a Houseparent) (2015)

At the time of its establishment, Yeondu high School was in the middle of

nowhere, at the base of a mountain with hardly any human traffic. Due to this reason,

Yeondu High School had dormitories for the students. In the female dorm, there was a

notorious housemother, Miss C, whom everyone was afraid of.

Coming from a good family background, she demanded that the students

behaved and followed rules at all times. She would give harsh punishments for any

violation of the rules, and this caused many students to complain about her. It was a

little after the mid-term, when a Junior fell out a third floor window and died. She was

trying to sneak out of the dorms while evading the house mother's watch to go out and

celebrate the end of the mid terms.

But for some reason, the rumors spread that the girl committed suicide

because of Miss C, or even worse, that Miss C had killed that girl herself. Miss C was

in a great shock and for a while she stayed silent as if her spirit was broken. The

students were happy about this change and secretly kept an eye on Miss C to see if she

would return to her old self.

 Then came the incident that riled up all the students. Miss C was doing her

rounds and found a student whose hair was longer than regulation. Miss C took the

student to the bathroom and cut the girl's hair. But when that happened, the student and

all of her friends surrounded Miss C and protested against her harsh punishment and

strict rules.

At first it was only a few students who spoke up. Then, one by one they were

joined by other angry voices opposing Miss C, and soon enough every student in the

female dorm started protesting against her.

Finally, Miss C broke under all the pressure and her own pent-up emotions

and she ran out of the dorm, screaming like a madwoman. None of the students cared.

No one went after her trying to calm her down.

In the end, Miss C's body was found in a nearby mountain; a few days after

she went missing. Since then, people started reporting that they've seen the ghost of

Miss C. The rumor spread quickly, and the girl in the dormitory suffered from insomnia

and fear. Eventually the dorm had to be shut down. Even so, there are still sporadic

reports of sightings of Miss C's ghost.

The Uncrossable Bridge (2001)

This morning was quite busy. Soon-yeong just fainted in the Main Building's

hallway. The hallway that connects the New Building and the Main Building.
 This brought back the rumors about that hallway to the New Building. Some

people hear things in there. Some people hear screaming and laughing and some never

reach the end of the hallway. The hallway has no windows so it's usually very dark and

it doesn't go in a straight line. It has lots of turnings. These are the reasons why this

hallway is hardly ever used. Some describe it as a labyrinth.

The Impassable (Uncrossable) Bridge (2015)

Although it was early in the morning, the whole school was filled with an

uneasy buzz. Cheol-min, a student, was found unconscious in the hallway.

This particular hallway was the passageway between the Main Building and

the New building, and it was rarely used. It was built with an interesting design that

puzzled all those who set eyes on it. Its purpose was to be a bridge that connects one

building to another, but it was shaped like a tunnel with florescent lighting but not one

window. This made it seem creepy even during the daytime.

What's more, getting to the other building wasn't a straight path but instead

twisted and turned. All of that combined made less and less students use the walkway,

and the less people that used it, the more creepy the rumors about it became.

One rumor said that while walking down the passageway, which felt like

walking in cave, there were sounds of foot steps either behind you or coming from the

front but either way you'd never see anyone there. Another rumor said that if you enter

this hallway in the middle of the night, you will never get to the other building but

instead get lost in a labyrinth of corridors until the break of dawn.

 The night before the accident took place, Cheol-min told his friends that he

didn't believe in such a bogus story. Being teenagers, they dared Cheol-min to his prove

himself. So, Cheol-min and his friends came to school in the middle of the night. The

test Cheol-min was given seemed simple. He only had to go through the passageway,

get to the other building and bring back an object from a classroom.

Cheol-min wasted no time beginning this easy venture and quickly opened the

door to the passageway. He disappeared into the darkness and the door shut behind him.

When Cheol-min was alone, he realized it was scarier than he had imagined. The

passageway was without a single window, and all he could see were the small patches

of light like islands in a pitch black sea.

Cheol-min shivered and began to regret making this bet with his friends. When

the sound of his footsteps echoed loudly in the empty hallway, it felt like something

from the darkness would come running out at him at any second.

Cheol-min gathered together what courage he had left and started walking as

fast as he could. That's when something passed by him and lightly brushed his neck,

making a metallic sound. His hair stood on end. He felt like something was right behind

him. Was he hearing things? He thought he also heard faint laughter. Cheol-min,

clenching his teeth, bravely turned around.

Nothing was there except a completely empty hallway and darkness. Cheol-

min, who had been scared to death, was a bit relieved. Until right at that moment he

heard a whisper: "What are you doing here?" Terrified, Cheol-min ran as fast as he

could, screaming. It didn't matter how fast or how far he ran. He would never be able to

make it to the building on the other side.

 At last, Cheol-min suffered a panic attack and was knocked into

unconsciousness. His friends, after waiting for a long time, all returned home. Everyone

was worried for Cheol-min, yet no one suggested going to look for him. So, that's how

Cheol-min was found laying unconscious in the passageway the next day.

From that day on, the students have called this passageway "the impassable

bridge" or the labyrinth.

Boy, Kills Girl (2015)

Ji-seob, a new transfer student to Y High School, had recently heard a horror
story about the school from a classmate. So of course, out of all nights, the night he had
to come back to school to grab something he left was a stormy night. The quiet pouring
of rain reminded him too much of the scary story. Only a few years before, there was a
student named Ji-hye. She was dating a boy named Myong-ho, who shared the same
homeroom with her during the first two years of school. When they were in thier senior
year, they were assigned to differant homerooms, and Ji-hye began dating Ho-young
who was in the same homeroom as her.

Myeong-ho could not accept such a sudden break-up after dating Ji-hye for
two years. He tried multiple times to go see her and plead his casem but she completley
ignored him. Growing more resentful with each rejection, he began to hate Ji-hye. Until
one day, Myeong-ho decided to go see Ji-hye one last time in her homeroom during the
lunch break. She, just like all the times before, was cold and cruel and ignored his pleas.
Enraged, Myeong-ho took out the knife he had brought with him. Of course, he wasn't
planning on hurting her. He wanted to mend his wounded ego by watching her tremble,
seeing her finally acknowledge him. However, Ji-hye knew all too well; she knew that
even thoguh he acted tough, he was just a narrow-minded, scared little boy.
 Seeing his desperate attempt with the knife made him so repulsive that she
became angry at him.She called him names and taunted that he would never have the
guts to actually use the knife. Alas, her taunting worked; Myeong-ho, momentarily
blinded by rage, swung his knife and stabbed her. Ji-hye fell to the ground, her blood
running across the entire floor Myeong-ho, scared and confused by the scene, went
beserk.

Due to him slashing his knife crazily around him, no one dared to go near Ji-
hye. They could only watch from afar as she bled out. Since that day, there is said to
have been sightings of a female ghost lying down on the floor as if asleep. Ji-seob tried
to block this story from his mind when he reached the classroom. When he opened the
door though, his efforts were in vain and he tripped, falling backwards in terror.

He saw a girl lying on the ground in the dark, like she was fast asleep.

벽장에 갇힌 여자 (Woman trapped in the closet)

(2001)
Some time ago, there was a rumor being told among the students that woman's
face floats from the hallway walls. Whether this was true or not, the principal and
several other teachers tried to prove them wrong and reassure them, but the stories
refused to be forgotten.

The stories indicated that the school building was once used as a torture
building for prisoners, at the time of the Japanese occupation of Korea.

One prisoner was a woman who had refused to give away the location of her
husband, who had fled the region to avoid conscription. After she was brutally tortured,
she was sealed into a closet with bricks.

Crammed into the tiny room, she eventually died of starvation. When her body
was found, they struggled to fit her stiffened corpse into her coffin.
 She still wanders near the sealed room, showing her curved neck to those who
are unlucky enough to find her.

벽장에 갇힌 여자 (A Woman Locked in the Closet)

(2015)
Tae-hoon was serving detention again.

He was made to write an essay to apologies for beating someone up that

afternoon. The real problem Tae-hoon had was that he was the only one being

punished.

He suspected that the boy he fought was from a wealthy family Tae-hoon knew

the Faculty Coordinator was corrupt enough to take bribes.

"Unlucky day", he thought.

His arm felt like it was going to fall from all the writing he did. To top it off he

was also hunting from all the fight.

The other student couldn't beat him fair and squqre so he had grabbed a broom

and swung it a Tae-hoon.

It was at the moment that Tae-hoon had just taken away the broom that the

Faculty Coordinator showed up.

 Because of that, Tae-hoon ended up getting beaten even more. Thinking about

everything that happened made him angry again. he tried to calm himself down and

was determined to beat up the boy as soon as he came to school tomorrow.

Suddenly, he heard a clattering sound in the closet behind him.

It sounded like a mouse was trapped inside. Since the building was very old, it

wasn't rare to find a mouse in school. He tried to ignore it and concentrate on writing

his essay, but the clattering sound continued.

Already agitated, Tae-hoon violently threw open the closet doors.

What he found was not a mouse.

There were rumors that a ghost's head had been seen flying out of that closet.

There were also rumors that male student had been found inside the closet,

with their bodies crushed and mangled. The teachers tried to contain it, but the stories

spread like wildfire.

According to rumors, this school was used as a concentration camp for

political prisoners during the occupation. Many people died here after being tortured,

with the dishonor of being labeled traitors.

One of these tortured souls included a woman who was arrested on be half of

her husband who dodged conscription during the war. She was tortured viciously to

reveal the whereabouts of her husband, but kept her silence.

In the end, they locked her up in a specially designed closet where she could

neither lie nor sit. She died slowly in agony without being able to move. It was after

the war ended that her corpse was recovered.

 It is said that they had difficulty putting her body in a coffin because her neck

and knees were bent stiffly at odd angles. Students believe that her ghost still wanders

around in the walls of the school. It's said that if you open a closet at night, she will

stick out her twisted neck to claim her next victim.

The Ghost Tree (2001)

Back in Grade 2, Hee-jin got suspended for getting in to a fight. She was so
upset about it that she ran away form home. But in Grade 3 during the Spring
semester, she returned to school carrying a flowerpot. I can't help but notice how she
takes so much care for the flowerpot. It's strange, but other than that, she seems like a
normal kid, like most of the other students.

One day, a child accidentally dropped a solvent mixture into the plant pot
during a chemistry experiment. Her flower withered and she went hysterical. The class
quieted down and a horrendous stench filled the air in the classroom. There was no
visible source of the smell, except for maybe the flower pot.

When the teachers tried to throw the plant out, Hee-jin went into a demented
rage screaming, "I'll kill anyone who touches my pot! Don't hurt it! I will kill you!"
No one wanted to cause an incident, so they left her alone with her plant.

Later, the school janitor, Bong-gu was on his rounds when he was drawn into
the science classroom. There he found Hee-jin with her plant, and her back to him.
When he called out to her, she began to turn around. The girl locked her eyes onto the
janitor's. There she wore a bloodied shirt and held her potted plant in one hand. In the
other, she held a small dog, dead and bloody. The dog's blood drained into the pot.
The janitor turned and ran, just as the girl dropped the dog to the ground.
 Soon after the report Bong-gu had given to the principal about what he had
saw, Hee-jin was found dead in the girl's bathroom on the third floor of the Main
Building Area 2.

Ghost Tree (2015)

Mi-hyeon quickened her steps towards the Classroom. Whatever sunlight

there was had now completely disappeared and the school was covered in darkness.

Mi-hyeon was annoyed with her friends. They had stopped on their way home to chat

with her, even though she was still busy cleaning. They didn’t even offer to help and

just left her on her own when they ran out of things to talk about. This made Mi-hyeon

uneasy as Y High School was full of scary rumors.

To make matters worse, she saw no students around today. She found the

echoing of her own footsteps quite nerve-wrecking.

Hey anxiety grew even more when she saw the potted tree in the corner of the

hallway. This plant used to belong to her homeroom teacher last year. It reminded her

of him and what happened that year.

Her homeroom teacher, Mr. B, taught Chinese. He was quiet and had a thin

build. He gave off a sad vibe. He wasn’t friendly at all. Not even trying to connect

with his students or fellow teachers. He did, however, seem interested in maintaining

his plants. He took extra care in the plant of his homeroom, Junior Homeroom 2. He

cared for his plant so much that he checked on it every class break.
 Then one day, a student accidentally dumped Chemical Solvent on Mr. B’s

favorite tree. The tree turned black and shriveled up completely. Afraid of the

repercussions, the student replaced the tree and decided to burn the old one.

Even his friends were in on his plan. Together they moved the dead plant to

the incinerator and lit it on fire. The dead tree easily caught fire and was soon burning

with billowing black smoke. When the flames grew more intense, a scream was heard.

It was like the burning tree was screaming out in pain.

That’s when Mr. B came running. Watching his favorite tree burning made

him go crazy. Before anyone could reason with him, he dashed into the open flames,

to be with his favorite tree in the fire. Both Mr. B and the tree were engulfed in flames

in a matter of seconds. No one spoke; everyone was in shock from what they had just

observed.

Judging from the matching statements from the students involved, the police

decided that it was a case of suicide by delusion.

Mi-hyeon was there that day at the incinerator. That’s why every time she

saw a plant Mr. B used to care for it made her shiver. She normally mad an effort to

not pass through where the plants were. She would have walked around it today too, if

she wasn’t in such a hurry.

Mi-hyeon tried hard to calm herself down when she saw a light on in a

nearby classroom.

She heard someone moving in there, too.

So scared being left alone in the dark building, she was happy to see that

there was someone else in school.

 She quickly opened the class room’s door.

But, what she saw was the back of a man in front of a plant.

Mi-hyeon froze in terror when she realized what she was seeing. This was her

homeroom from last year; Junior Homeroom 2. The man slowly turned around and

faced Mi-hyeon. He was holding a dog’s corpse with its belly ripped open and his

other hand was covered in blood.

Behind him, Mi-hyeon could see that blood and organs were covering the

leaves and stems. He slowly approached Mi-hyeon and said, “Oh good, I was running

out of food for my tree.”

The Wailing from the Art Room (2015)

Seol-hyun had a crush on the new art teacher at Y High School. The art

teacher was young and talented, and Seol-hyun wasn't the only girl who fell for him.

Desperate to became his favorite student, she gave her all in her art class.

She had always been gifted with her hands since she was a child, and soon she did

became his star pupil. Seeing Seol-hyun's talent, the art teacher advised her to apply

for an art college. Seol-hyun accepted his advice and began to take private lessons

with him. This was a dream come true for her; to be left alone in school with her

crush, spending hours together practicing art.

At some point, a strange rumor started circulating through the school.

 The rumor was that there was a teacher dating a student. The Rumor made its

way into the ear of the school administration and soon the young art teacher left

without warning, as if he was banished from the school.

The rumor was never confirmed.

In the middle of the night, with her favorite teacher gone, Seol-hyun sat alone

in the art room. The faint moonlight through the window rested on her shaking

shoulders. She was crying mournfully.

In her hands, she held an unfinished clay doll of woman.

Great care had been taken in forming the clay doll's face, and it looked just

like Seol-hyun. With her eyes full of resentment, she stared at the doll. The next day

the whole school was shock; the dead body of a female student had been found.

It was revealed that the girl had killed herself by overdosing on sleeping pills.

Even more shocking, however, was that the dead girl was found to be pregnant.

The school tried to prevent students from spreading unconfirmed rumors

about this accident, but soon the whole school knew and there were all sorts of

theories about the girl and who the father was. A lot of people pointed their finger at

the art teacher who recently left the school, but it was never confirmed. After the

incident, people began to report that they could hear a baby's cry near the Art Room.

At first, the crying was so faint that people merely thought they were hearing

things, but as time went on it became so loud that the vibrations felt like an

earthquake. A baby's ghost with itss umbilical cord wrapped tightly around its neck

was also reported as appearing.

 Even to this day, they say you can see a baby's ghost in search of something

during shadowy moonlit nights. It is imperative, you must remember not to follow it.

For, should you fail to find what the baby wants, it might drag you down into deep

darkness instead.

The Secret Of The Pond (2001)

There was a small pond between the main building and the lecture hall a long

time ago. There was a stupid rumor going around that the pond was made when the

whole area used to be a refugee camp that was bombed during the Korean War. A

group of soldiers were killed when a bomb hit their tent.

The rumor goes on. You prepare a love letter for someone, proposing to meet

at the pond. If they show up, you will stay together forever. If they don't, you will be

cursed and die. When the moon is its brightest, you can almost see the dead

challengers floating in the pond. Some say they can see a white figure standing by the

pond looking down at them, but I think they're just lying.

This rumor started to become quite popular when my friend Su-kyeong, quite

a timid girl, wanted to be together with Sang-joong. She told me she was finally going

to confess her love for Sang-joong and send him a letter. I thought that was great and

said go for it, so she mailed it to him.

I didn't notice what she was actually prepared to do to be with him until about

a week later, I looked from the windows of the Main Building at lunch break. Su-
kyeong was sitting by the pond with her hands together waiting for him. He never

arrived because of a mistake in the letter's delivery.

The next day she said she felt ill, and at the end of the day, that would be the

last I ever saw her alive. That night, as I looked from the Main Building windows

again, I saw something float up from the pond.

The Secret Of The Pond (2015)

A long time ago, there used to be a small pond between the Main Building

and the Auditorium. They say that the pond was created by a bomb during the war,

and it had obliterated a refugee tent that had been pitched there.

Obviously every refugee tent that had been pitched there.

Obviously, every refugee in the tent died. It was said that the bottmom of the

pond was tainted red with their blood.

There is another story about the pond as well, if you write to your crush

asking them to come to the pond and they show up, you'll live happily ever after with

them. A warning though, if your crush doesn't show up, then you will die by the

pond's curse.

Da-som, a quiet and shy student, had a crush on an older student named

Chan-yeol. Her crush deepened and she doesn't deal with her longing anymore. She

finally decided to write a letter to Chan-yeol and wait for him at the Pond.
 But her letter never made it to him. The letter passed through many hands but

somewhere down the line it got lost. Da-som had no idea that her letter was never

delivered and waited for him all night at the pond's edge. The cold night spent by the

pond caused her to come down with a serious fever and she had to miss school for

quiet some time.

After Da-som narrowly recovered, she returned to school and was even

quieter and more timid than before. Her friends tried as much as they could to console

her, but she ended up transferring to different school.

It was only a few days later that her body was found floating in the pond. It is

said that on a night with waning moon, a ghost appears who silently looks in from

outside the building. They say that the water-bloated ghost, with eyes gleaming wildly

underneath dipping-wet hair, searches for the boy who has her letter.

The Diet That Brought About Death (2001)

Yeong-Mi was a very sensitive girl, mainly because she was overweight and

everyone used to tease her.

She decided that she was going to go on a diet one day, but it showed no

results and the teasing just became worse. She looked at herself in the mirror and

gained a Sitophobia (Fear of Eating) and was put in a mental home. She kept refusing

to eat until, finally, she died from starvation.

The bullies at school couldn't care any less.

 *

Extreme Dieting Death (2015)

Young-mee was a senior high school student and she had never been happy

with her body. She was excited to become a university student with only one entrance

exam standing in her way, but she regretted that she wouldn't get to have any "campus

romance" with her kind of body. So, she would always say that she was on a diet. the

strange thing was that she didn't look overweight to others.

The people around her would tease her that she should actually gain a few

pounds. Still, Young-mee doubted their words. When she looked in the mirror at the

back of the classroom she only saw an overweight girl. "Look at what a pig I am! How

could they call me thin? How could they say I could gain a few pounds?!"

The only conclusion that she could come to was that they were being

sarcastic. "Just you wait. I will become thin. I'll not eat anything until I am thin!"

From that day Young-mee didn't eat anything and only drank water. She became

thinner by the day until it was to the point where she was just skin and bones. She

barely had the energy to even move, but she continued her refusal to eat. When she

was forced to eat even just a little, she would run straight to the bathroom and throw

up.

She had lost so much weight that watching her walk around the school was a

creepy sight. Her friends and teachers, who at first had been worried, began to avoid

her. Then one day a new boy transferred to her class, Wanting to make quick
friends,he treated the whole class to pizza and hamburgers, With the teacher's

permission they served the food in the classroom and held a party.

Everyone was able to enjoy the food while relaxing and letting go of their

stress of preparing for the college entrance exams. The transfer student spotted

Young-mee sitting by herself by the window. Even in this celebratory mood she was

not eating. the thought never occurred to him that she was on a diet; he just figured

that she didn't get her share yet.

So he brought her one of the remaining burgers and a soda. "No!! I'm not

eating! I won't eat anything! I"m still fat in the mirror, can't you see??" Young-mee

stood upand shouted with rage as she pointed at the mirror at the back of the

classroom. Suddenly the room went quiet. Her face was contorted with anger and her

eyed gleamed with insanity.

Young-mee started snickering and looked around her. All the kid's eyed were

locked on her in fear. To her, it seemed like they were all staring with eyes of disdain.

Young-mee atomed out of the classroom screaming. Nobody moved to stop her. In the

end she was found dead in the mountains nearby, having starved to death. Her

classmates tried to figure out what she meant with her last words.

"What did she mean by the mirror? We don't have a mirror in our

classroom..."

The Reversed Ghost (2001)

 The Main Building's chemistry room is famous for ghost sightings. On rainy

days, people go to visit the 3rd and 4th floors of the Main Building's second area

because of the accident in the chemistry room a long time ago.

One day during a science lesson, the room suddenly shook and the

apparatuses with acid and toxic fumes cracked open. Mi-suk was next to the

apparatuses and burnt her face, leaving half of it completely mutilated. She was rushed

to the medical room, but they couldn't help her.

From there on, her life was isolated from the outside. She went through a

phase of depression and was so intensely upset, that one night, she climbed up onto

the roof of her parents house while they were out, and jumped down below to the

concrete path; She wanted her face to hit the ground first...

People still see Mi-suk around the chemistry room of the 2nd area of the

Main Building, with her back to everyone. She hides her face so no one sees it, but

there have been reports of people who have seen her face... They went missing.

The Lost Face (2015)

Eun-ah was a popular girl. Not only was she pretty, but she musically

talented as well; winning many awards since she was young. Everyone loved her. As

often happens in these cases, everyone wanted to be friends with her and she became

egotistical.
 In contrast, Mi-sook was hardly known by anyone in school. She thought she

was ugly. That caused her to have self confidence issues, making her timid and

introverted. Due to this, she had no friends to speak of; even her classmates hardly

acknoweleged her existance.

One day, Eun-ah was walking in the hallway while nosily chatting with her

friends. Mi-sook, focused on cleaning, didn't realize anyone was there until Eun-ah

ran into her. Mi-sook stumbled and dropped the mop bucket she was carrying, spilling

dirty water all over the hallway.

Eun-ah never said sorry. She barely spared a glance at Mi-sook and then

walked away without saying anything. Angered, Mi-sook went after her and

demanded an apology. Instead, she was mocked. "What are you blubering about?

You're ugly and dirty as that mop-water, haha!"

The other kids snickered in agreement with Eun-ah's cruel remark. Mi-sook's

face turned red with embarassment and anger. From that day on, she was an easy

target for bullying. Every time she walked by, everyone would mock her without

caring if she could hear. As time passed on, her resentment towards Eun-ah grew to

hatred. She decided she would get revenge on Eun-ah for what she had started.

"How pretty does she think she is? Does she think that beauty lasts forever?

We'll see about that...."

One day, Eun-ah was chatting away with her friends in the music

appreciation room. Mi-sook quietly approached them and, as usual, the kids began

mocking her. No one paid any attention to the bottle she held in her hand. Mi-sook

took the cap off the sulfuric acid she brought and threw it at Eun-ah's face.
 Eun-ah's screams of pain filled up the room and echoed through the halls.

The kids around her scrambled away in horror. Not one soul stayed behind to help her.

Eun-ah pleaded for help as she screamed in agony, but Mi-sook just smiled cruelly

and watched her beg.

Eun-ah's pretty face was eatan away by the acid. She was fortunate to have

survived the attack but it left her with a hideous scar covering half her face. There was

no trace of her former beauty to be found. After the incident she would not go to

school, refusing to even come out of her house, She broke all of the mirrors inside,

and her disfigured eyes being sensitive to light caused her to keep the house eternally

dark. Her depression became so deep that one day it drove her to leap from the roof of

the house. They said it was hard to identify her body because she struck the ground

face first, completley detroying what had remained.

Since her death, there are rumours of sightings of Eun-ah's ghost in the Music

Appreciation Room. It is said her ghost always has her back turned, and that you'll die

if you ever see her face.

Competitive spirit (2001)

Kyung-hee, who lost her father when young, was bad off. Relatives forced

her to enter vocational high school, but to go to college, she chose to enter academic

high school. Kyung-hee thought studying was the only way to climb from poverty.
She was worried about if someone would beat her. But she always remained second in

her class. Comparing her own situation with the top student receiving expensive

private lesson, Kyung-hee felt extremely ashamed and killed herself.

People often see Kyung-hee in the library. When studying in the library after

school, she appears in front of the desk cupping her chin in her hands. Watching a

student studying for a while, sometimes she talk in riddles and disappears.

Competitive Spirit (2015)

Kyoung-hee's father passed away when she was young so her family

struggled with money. Her family expected her to go to a vocational high school and

start making money as soon as possible. Kyoung-hee, however, had a different idea.

To her, studying hard and getting into a good college was the only chance

they had at escaping poverty. So against her family’s wishes, she decided to attend a

regular high school. In high school, Kyoung-hee stayed true to her goal of studying

hard.

Her grades were so excellent that she became one of the top students in the

prestigious Y high school. For her, however, it was not enough. No matter how hard

she tried, she just couldn’t beat the student in first place.
 The number one student was a cheerful girl named Sae-yeon. She had always

been popular because of her smarts and kind nature. It was said her father was a top

government official. Maybe that explained how Sae-yeon could be so confident and

positive all the time.

Kyoung-hee had never once seen her study. She only ever saw her laughing

with her friends. In spite of this, Sae-yeon always had better grades than her. “When

does she study?” Kyoung-hee wondered. She decided that Sae-yeon must be getting

very expensive private tutoring.

Kyoung-hee chewed on her nails out of anxiety. She felt as if she and her

family would be doomed to live in poverty forever if she didn’t figure out a way to

beat Sae-yeon and become the top student.

So she threw herself into her studies more ever before. She hardly slept, and

studied so hard that she felt like her eyes could bore a hole through her textbooks. As

time passed, dark circles formed under her eyes.

Finally, the exam that she had prepared so much for was over. All her

classmates complained that the exam was way too difficult. She sat back in her chair

and smiled, believing that she had aced it. “I will finally beat her this time.” Kyoung-

hee closed her eyes and could already imagine Sae-yeon’s tearful face.

At last, the day they would receive their report cards came.

The room was filled with varying reactions to the report cards. Some were

crying, some were relieved, and some just didn’t care.

Kyoung-hee looked at her report card with confidence. Then, her faced

twisted in shock. Second place. On the report card it was written that she scored
second best, again. She turned to look at Sae-yeon and saw her smiling brightly with

her friends. She had lost to her again.

Kyoung-hee was so stunned after this that she could not focus during any of

her classes. Only one thing filled her mind, and that was Sae-yeon.

“How the hell could she beat me every time? It must be the expensive private

lessons… But I don’t have that kind of luxury. This means I could never beat her. It’s

over now. We will just have to live in poverty forever.”

Kyoung-hee, from the trauma of her stress, developed a mental disorder and

ended up killing herself. A rumor spread after her death, that a ghost had begun to

appear in the library. It is said that if you remain in the library to study until midnight,

a girl will glare at you with her chin resting on her hands before suddenly

disappearing.

The Unsolvable Math Problem (2001)

It seemed to me that Na-hyae was just as normal as the rest of us, but she was

bullied and teased at school for apparently being 'too' normal. They also teased her

because her math grades were well below average.

It seemed like she studied and worked as much as we did, but her grades just

kept dropping. Whenever she was called to the chalkboard to solve a math problem,

she could never do it.

 In math class one day, she was called to the chalkboard to solve a math

problem. Everyone could see she was very nervous, I knew for sure they were

enjoying this. Again, Na-hyae couldn't solve the math problem. The math teacher was

very impatient and grew angry at Na-hyae, so he told her she couldn't leave school

until she solved the problem.

Her classmates walked up to the chalkboard and changed the problem slightly

while Na-hyae was not present. Na-hyae walked back in and was even more confused.

She had heard about the rumors and stories that were told around the school

and was growing more and more anxious as it got darker. The back-door suddenly

swung open and someone came in to the class. It was her teasing classmates checking

on her. All of a sudden, Na-hyae suffered a heart attack and collapsed to the floor.

She still tries to solve the math problem her teacher gave her to this very day.

An Incorrectly Solved Math Problem (2015)

Na-hye, a Junior-year student at Y High School, was a top student. Smart and

outgoing,she was especially adored by her homeroom teacher. Perhaps that was why

she was always full of herself. When the teacher wasn't around,she would act snotty

and as if she was better than everyone else in her class. None of her classmates liked

her. Everyone avoided her,but Na-hye could not care less. "What does it matter what

they say or think about me. They're all losers,” Na-hye thought to herself. Na-hye was

prideful and had a large ego.

 Then one cool autumn day,the subject for 5th period was Math,the subject

that the homeroom teacher taught. It was right after lunch,and with the cool breeze

coming in through the window,most students were nodding off during the lesson. To

wake the class up,the irritated teacher called a few students to the board to solve some

math problems. Na-hye was one of the students who was called up. One by one,

students returned to their seats after solving their problems. Since the problems were

easy,no one got them wrong... Except Na-hye. She had read the question wrong and

incorrectly solved the problem. This was unheard of considering her skill in Math. In

front of the whole class,the teacher rebuked Na-hye saying that it was a stupid

mistake. The teacher intended for Na-hye to remember the embarrassment and never

make the same mistake again. Na-hye could not lift her head out of shame. Her face

turned bright red. The kids could not stop snickering,the fact that the teacher's pet was

being scolded right in front of them was fun and satisfying.

When the teacher left at the end of the lesson, all the kids started talking

about what just happened to Na-hye. They sounded excited that they finally had

something to hold over her. Na-hye was angry. She blamed the teacher who

embarrassed her in front of her class, she hated her classmates who took it as an

opportunity to talk behind her back even more, and she was angry at herself for

getting the stupid question wrong. Even when she went home after school,she could

not get it out of her mind. She hated her eyes for reading the question wrong. "It's not

my fault,” she decided. She rationalized to herself that problem was not her's, but her

eyes. Soon, a terrible sound was heard, and the workbook on her desk was splattered

with red.

The next day, Na-hye's classmates trembled with fear when it was announced

that Na-hye had committed suicide by digging her own eyes out with a knife.
 After this happened, a rumor spread that whenever a Math problem is left on

the chalkboard, Na-hye's ghost is summoned. It is said that the ghost would stare at

the problem on the chalkboard, but her eye sockets would be empty holes.

 Find My Body (2001)
It was so hot that summer day; I could hardly breath. The cicadas were crying

so loudly. The bridge connecting the new building and the main building was

supposed to be finished over the summer holidays. I could see that the workers didn't

want to do it but they were getting paid more than they required, so they kept working.

Because of the heat that day, the chief let the workers have a nap from their

work. During the worker's naps, some of the scaffolding collapsed. The workers were

in the middle of their nap, so they didn't take notice. The chief was furious and started

to yell at the workers, but they just pretended they were still asleep.

The chief, still yelling, walked over to the fallen scaffolding to put them back

up himself. All of a sudden, the yelling was cut off. It was silent. The workers became

scared.

The chief and the rest of the workers gathered around the decapitated lunch

lady who was struck by the scaffolding. Both jugular veins were cut, so there was tons

of blood spread across the ground. The stream of blood from the veins would be

pouring out for minutes.

From that point, the workers began working a lot harder. Their brains seemed

to have switched on finally. Everything was perfect, but there was one problem. The

lunch lady's head was missing.

The chief and the workers didn't want any trouble, so they all agreed to chuck

the headless body into the cement. No-one knew about what they did, but them.

The construction of the bridge was delayed after what happened that day.

Many of the workers were injured soon after the incident. The last worker was killed
in a faulty pulley accident on the 4th floor. His body was minced, but the head was

unharmed. The chief killed himself later on because of the constant hauntings around

the school.

After the construction was finally completed, the woman's head was found in

a flower patch at the start of the term.

Find My Body for Me (2015)

The weather was so hot that it made it hard to breathe and the cicadas would

not stop chirping. The foreman in charge of construction to connect the New Building

to the Old found everything irritating.

In his opinion, it was a pointless project but he wasn’t going to complain

since it was paid work.

The sun blazed even hotter after lunch and heat waves rose off the asphalt.

The workers protested that it was too hot to work.

The foreman was both jealous and spiteful of the brash attitude of the

workers.

However, he agreed it was too hot to work.

The foreman ordered his workers to take a break. No progress was being

made anyways and if a worker happened to get heatstroke, it would just make matters

worse. Everyone found a spot in the shade and slept soundly.

 Then something happened while everyone was deep in sleep.

A loud cracking sound echoed around campus. It sounded like the scaffolding

had crashed through the safety net.

Still drowsy from their nap, the workers paid no attention to it, and went back

to sleep.

It was a different matter for the foreman. If there was indeed a problem with

the safety net, it would be his responsibility. He yelled at his workers to check out the

safety net but they pretended like they didn’t hear him.

Deeply annoyed, the foreman realized that he had to check it out himself.

The workers, who were debating whether to get up or not, were glad that the

foreman had left without them.

Suddenly, the foreman yelled and then was cut off, leaving an eerie silence.

The workers jumped up and rushed to the foreman.

The foreman was frozen in shock, staring at a terrible sight.

Where the scaffolding had fallen through the safety net, was the dead body of

a woman.

The woman’s corpse had no head.

The foreman and the workers instantly recognized the dead woman as

someone who worked in a local restaurant. From the chopped stump of her neck, dark

red blood was spewing out, soaking into the ground.

 The foreman and the workers kept their mouths shut and moved quickly. It

was the first time they had worked together so harmoniously.

Despite searching everywhere, they could not find the missing head. In the

end, they buried the body in cement and sent it to a waste facility. It seemed like they

did a perfect job covering up what had happened.

No one would ever know what had happened aside from themselves. For

some reason though, strange accidents kept on happening after the incident. Workers

were injured much more frequently than before. This slowed progress on construction,

and a rumor spread among the workers that there was a ghost at the site.

The foreman fumed with anger and ordered his men to keep their mouths

shut.

Then, a pulley fell from the 4th floor and crushed a worker to death. While

his body had been mangled by the pulley, his head was strangely unharmed.

The foreman became terrified and decided to turn himself in to the police.

Even then, rumors persisted that a floating head could sometimes be seen.

Eventually, the construction work was completed despite the slow progress.

When the school reopened after summer break, they were shocked to find the

woman’s head in the garden.

They say that the head looked as if it had just been cut off of the body,

despite the fact that it had been out in the heat of the summer for weeks.

Child playing in the corner (2001)

Son Dal-su heard something during his regular night patrol around the New Building. He's
usually never scared, but that noise made him shiver.

Dal-su cautiously looked around. To his surprise, it was a 4-year-old girl. The odd thing
was that the girl was sitting in the corner of the room facing the wall, motionless.

Dal-su calmly walked up to the girl and called to her. she twisted her head round to face
him. She screamed as a terrified expression. The girl who was just sitting there under a
second ago, was gone. Dal-su was in great shock and couldn't move after what just
happened.

The child was never seen again.

People say that the child's family was killed in the bombing in the Korean War and
brought to this school, that was then a hospital, during the War. The girl liked the place
like a corner or box and Sometime she told the unknown word.

Since then while the army retreated to the deterioration of the front-line But the girl didn't
realize evacuation.

The child was left alone and eventually died of starvation.

There was a rumour that a ghost lived in the pond near the front New Building. and the
only way the ghost could escape was to take the lives of other students.

The teachers gave a strict warning to students not to go near the pond. but it was useless. It
hadn't even crossed their mind to fill the pond up, so it was suggested to them.

But the chief directors council always opposed it. They said it was because the pond was
made to keep the feng shui around the area balanced. What the hell is feng shui anyway...
I'll have to research that. They said that feng shui is very important to this school.

One day, they actually did try to fill the pond up, but the heavy equipment operator died of
a heart failure before he got near it. So the school considers it a sacrifice to the instead.
How stupid.
Recently, the ghost has been haunting again. There were sightings. of a soaked girl
wearing the school's old uniform. Maybe someone drowned her in the pond. Why can
some of us see this? Well, it's hard to explain. The afterlife and the world we live in are
overlapping somehow.

Today, we went to occult club to study supernatural events and sighting. The teacher came
in with two rods. He said they were the L-Rods and they could pick up abnormal ghostly
activity.

Untitled Document (2015)

There used to be a pond at that spot before the New Building was built.

Of course, there were rumors that the pond was haunted.

According to local legend, it was a cursed pond, and the souls of the people who drowned
in that pond were trapped in it. The only way an imprisoned soul can escape the pond was
to drag another’s into that pond. That’s why the ghosts of that pond were more
bloodthirsty, killing more people.

At worst, the pond claimed a life every month.

The school warned the students about the pond, but the drownings did not stop.

Some people wanted to fill in the pond but the Chairman always decided against it. The
Chairman said that the pond allowed the Feng Shui to flow well. I mean, how important is
Feng Shui when people are dying, you know?

Well, I later found out just how important Feng Shui is…

Anyways, because of fierce protests it was finally decided that the pond was to be filled in.
But on the first day of filling the pond, the machine operator died of a heart attack. After
that, the school had to hold purification ritual every year for the pond.

Time passed, and the New Building was built over the spot where the pond used to be; no
more rituals. Lately though, there are rumors that ghost are showing up again. They said
that a girl’s ghost drenched in water wearing an old school uniform that can only be seen
in the History Room, is being spotted.

She’s got to be one of the ghosts of a student that died in the pond.

You might ask why a pond ghost would appear when the pond is gone.
Well, it’s hard to explain but…

This world and the underworld exists in the same space.

What does that mean? It means that humans and ghosts occupy the same space but in
different (for lack of a better word) dimensions (you could also compare it to radios, each
of them giving off its own frequency), and that’s why humans and ghosts cannot influence
each other.

So even there is a building built over where the pond was in this world, that pond could
still be there in the underworld’s dimension.

I will try to find out the truth of all this today. I was finally able to create the Occult Club.
The teachers hate it. They say I’m wasting my precious youth.

Even though people find my club weird, my club is not a joke. We investigate and research
the supernatural phenomena that cannot be explained by modern science.

Naturally, the quickest way of providing our worthy cause would be finding a ghost.

Just by sheer luck, I’ve recently came upon something called L-Rod, which has magical
powers. The person who found it told me that it can detect ghost, as well as be used as a
dowsing rod.

A One-Sided Love (2015)

Yeon-sun, a junior in high school, was happy to attend school lately because of the new
Korean Language teacher.

Tall and handsome, the new teacher also had a great personality. He never yelled or got
mad at his students during his lessons and he always stayed calm. Yeon-sun felt her heart
race when the teacher complimented her on her writing.

The teacher eve noticed when she recently changed her glasses and told her that the new
glasses suited her well.

Just thinking about him made Yeon-sun jittery with happiness. Yeon-sun was really an
average student. In fact, it should be more accurate to say that she was below average. She
wasn't pretty or cute, nor was she good at academics or sports.

She also gained weight in the last few years and even her mother would nag her about
losing some weight. She wasn't popular among her friends and she was not particularly
adored by teachers either.
She was just a quiet student always there in her same spot.

That was how people around her would define her as.

Yeon-sun, too, knew that she was no one special and tried to keep her crush to herself. But
as time passed on, she could not hold her growing feelings inside.

She didn't even expect to date her crush or anything; she only wanted to let him know how
she felt about him.

Yeon-sun worked up her courage and wrote an earnest letter.

Next day, right before the Korean Language class started, she secretly placed her love
letter inside the attendance sheet. She could not dare to give her letter to him in person. As
the time reached closer for the class to begin, her heartbeat went faster and faster.

Finally, the bell rang and the class began.

But the teacher who came through the door was not the Korean Language teacher. It was
the Gym teacher, who she disliked the most.

He said that because the Korean Language teacher is runnign late, he will be supervising
the class.

Yeon-sun felt a cold sweat.

Many things raced through her mind. "Would he call out attendance? Would he find my
letter? If he did, would he just pretend he didn't see it?"

But the reality she faced was harsh. The Gym teacher opened up the attendance sheet,
found Yeon-sun's letter, and read it out loud to the whole class. The classroom soon filled
with the snickering and jeering of the kids. The Gym teacher then openly mocked her that
even the fat, ugly kid yearns love just like everybody else.

The disgusted looks and sneering from the class made her scared. Every single one of them
was her enemy. She felt as if she had fallen into hell surrounded by demons.

Right at that moment, the Korean Language teacher entered the classroom. To Yeon-sun
he seemed like her savior. He was confused by the strange vibe in the classroom. The Gym
teacher, getting such a kick out of this situation, handed Yeon-sun's latter to him.

Yeon-sun looked at him, and hoped that he would calm this situation down and make
things right.

The Korean Language teacher finished reading her letter and turned to see Yeon-sun.

His face was twisted by a mixture of disgust, annoyance and anger.

It was as if he was looking at a repulsive insect.

Her embarrassment and a sense of betrayal was too great; she killed herself that night in
the school.

But nobody spoke on why she really killed herself.
